Chapter 541: The Planning Team's Worries (Part 2)
Kyoto. Huaxia National Stadium.
When Xu Yinglong drove to this giant gymnasium, which can accommodate 100,000 spectators at the same time, he was warmly welcomed by all the staff on site. These staff members are Ziyi's personal team and the planning team sent by Wang Mengjie, and some are staff from the gymnasium. Originally, they didn't attach much importance to this task when they came, after all, Xu Yinglong is just a new singer, if it is divided according to the level of domestic stars, he is at most a third-rate singer, and asking their two ace teams to be his planner is simply a knife to kill chickens, which is overkill.
But what happened on the plane yesterday completely changed their minds, although Xu Yinglong is still a third-rate singer in their eyes, but other than that, he is a real hero.
The Chinese nation is a nation that worships and respects heroes, and the worship of heroes has penetrated deeply into the bones of this nation. Regardless of Xu Yinglong's status in the entertainment industry, he deserves their respect for his heroic behavior of subduing gangsters and saving the lives of hundreds of passengers on the plane regardless of his own safety. They should also go all out and cooperate with Xu Yinglong to make this concert a success.
Besides, Xu Yinglong's strength is there, so many classic original songs are there, in addition to fame, it can't be compared with those singers and queens who have been famous for a long time. In terms of strength, Xu Yinglong may not be inferior.
Maybe Xu Yinglong may have lacked accumulation before, but after this hijacking incident, I am afraid that there is no one in the country who does not know Xu Yinglong. is different from those who rely on scandals and hype to increase their popularity. Xu Yinglong's fame in the world depends on real heroic deeds and positive energy. It will be remembered by all.
Everyone's welcome also made Xu Yinglong very happy, and there is no doubt that this is a good start. The success of a large-scale event is definitely not the strength of one person, it must be the concerted efforts of all people. He was able to get the welcome and support of so many people, Xu Yinglong was naturally happy.
After a simple but warm welcome ceremony, two middle-aged men and women, a man and a woman, came to Xu Yinglong's side and then introduced themselves.
The man's name is Liang Yongjun, and he is the first planner of Wang Mengjie's company, and his public position is the company's executive vice president and art director. All the big and small activities held by Wang Mengjie's star singers are basically planned and created by Liang Yongjun, which can be said to be Wang Mengjie's right-hand man, and the company has been in charge of Liang Yongjun and another vice president during Wang Mengjie's absence.
The woman's name is Li Guorong. is the leader of Ziyi's personal team, and also serves as Ziyi's agent. Leslie Lee is also an insider, and has a good relationship with the CEOs of major entertainment companies, producers, and directors.
After a brief introduction, the two leaders took Xu Yinglong to a reception room backstage in the performance hall and chatted with Xu Yinglong about the details of the concert.
To be honest, although they admired Xu Yinglong's heroism, they were far less confident in this concert than Xu Yinglong.
Standing above Liang Yongjun is Wang Mengjie. Behind Li Guorong is Ziyi. These two are both gold medal planners in the entertainment industry, and if other veteran kings and queens hold concerts, they are more or less confident in their hearts. But when they learned that it was Xu Yinglong who held a solo concert at the Huaxia National Stadium, both of them were stunned.
They had all heard of Xu Yinglong's name. I know that he is a well-known newcomer, and his debut time is only a few months. Although this newcomer is quite famous among the young group, he is still a newcomer who has just debuted anyway. The fans are not very determined, and they are far less appealing than those old kings and queens.
Moreover, even those real big-name kings and queens may not have the courage to hold a concert at the Huaxia National Stadium. Not to mention whether 100,000 tickets are sold or not, that venue alone is not something that ordinary people can take. Especially towards the end of the year. The various events held in the stadium every day are fully arranged, and it is really impossible to win this tall venue without a few hard relationships.
The most important thing is the issue of time, it is not that no one has held a solo concert in the National Stadium, the king Liu Ge and the queen Wang Ying have both held personal commercial performances in the National Stadium, but the problem is that they have more than half a year from the early planning to the later publicity, and then to the final real performance. Even then, the results were not satisfactory.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, Liu Ge's concert attendance rate has reached an unprecedented 80%, and Wang Ying's solo concert has reached an attendance rate of 85%, which is a great achievement that is proud of the entire Chinese music scene. Except for these two, no one in the Chinese music scene in recent years has reached this height. But as the planning team behind the king and queen, they know very well how this achievement came about.
In fact, the two big names in the music world do not have such awesome appeal, whether it is Liu Ge or Wang Ying, there are only more than 60,000 tickets really sold, and the rest are free tickets given by the company to those concert sponsors or social groups, some of the free tickets are half price or two discounts, but most of the additional tickets are completely free. Even the king and queen of heaven are still like this, Xu Yinglong, a newcomer, wants to hold a concert at the National Stadium, and the preparation time is less than a week, which is completely fantastical.
But what they didn't expect was that when they arrived in Kyoto, the gymnasium had already vacated the venue and took the initiative to contact them and let them design a plan for the performance. What shocked them even more was that the management department of the gymnasium actually lowered the frame and dispatched more than 200 staff to help arrange the concert scene. It even spent a lot of money to hire several housekeeping companies to clean the tempered glass and other facilities inside and outside the gymnasium, and replaced some damaged and consumable parts in the gym.
It is really surprising that the gymnasium management department has such a move, you must know that although the Huaxia National Stadium Management Office is only a small unit, all the staff add up to a few hundred. However, due to the particularity of the National Gymnasium, the specification level of this unit is not low, and it is a deputy department-level unit. That is to say, the number one department of the gymnasium is equivalent to the deputy mayor of a prefecture-level city, and in China, a country where the idea of official standards is dominant, officials are always on top. It has always been them, the merchants, who have begged for others, and those who have seen the officials leaning down and scolding them. I hadn't seen it before, but this time they did.
It is precisely because of the assistance and support of the national stadium management department that Leung Wing-jun and Lee Kwok-wing will make their progress so smoothly, and it only took less than three days to make the concert plan and complete the layout of the stadium.
Although the hardware is very well prepared, Liang Yongjun and others are still not optimistic about Xu Yinglong, mainly because his reputation has not yet reached that height. Try to discuss Leung Yongjun and Leslie Lee, and they both think that Xu Yinglong can sell 10,000 tickets for this concert, which is already very good, and if he can sell 20,000 tickets, he can explain to the outside world. Although it is inevitable that it will be sprayed by those online trolls at that time, it will not be sprayed too hard.
But what they didn't expect was that Xu Yinglong became a big hero in the eyes of the Chinese people overnight, and he was also on the news network and was highly praised by the official. As a result, more than 30,000 tickets were sold in just one night, and there were still five days before the concert began, so they expected that at least 50,000 tickets for Xu Yinglong's concert could be sold. In this way, the number of Xu Yinglong's concerts may even be the same as Liu Ge and Wang Ying, and I am afraid that no one will dare to spray Xu Yinglong at that time.
Even so, the two gold medal planners are worried. After all, tickets are only a factor to measure the success of the concert, and more importantly, the audience's evaluation after watching the concert, everyone says that it is really good. If everyone is booed after watching the concert, the more people will lose face. And an important factor for the audience to buy it is the singer's performance in the concert, so what they are most worried about is whether Xu Yinglong can cope with such a big scene.
As far as they know, Xu Yinglong was just a college student before, although he became famous by participating in competitions, but in fact, he did not appear on stage many times, and the total number of times before and after was only five or six. After his debut, he almost never participated in any performances, just participated in a variety show, so Xu Yinglong's stage experience is not rich.
Secondly, what they are most worried about is the music of Xu Yinglong's concert, you must know that holding a concert is different from ordinary commercial performances, a large-scale concert can take two to three hours, and sometimes the audience can even drag on for more than four hours if the audience is high, which requires the singer to prepare more tunes. If each song is four to five minutes long, you have to sing 30 to 40 songs after a concert. Even if there are guests to help during the period, at least 30 songs must be prepared.
This is also the reason why the people who hold solo commercial performances are the old kings and queens and those first-class singers in the music industry, and the newcomers will release solo albums at most, and few people hold solo concerts, because newcomers have a common problem and lack of accumulation.
Xu Yinglong is also a newly debuted singer, and there are only more than ten works published before and after, even if Xu Yinglong sings all the old songs that have been released, he has to sing at least twenty new songs. The question is, did Xu Yinglong prepare twenty new songs? (To be continued......) R1292
